Hello Sir,
I live in abroad with my wife and 1yr old son. In 2009 my father-in-law who lives in India advised me to buy 1 acre agricultural land which is located just besides highway road at his village in Visakhapatnam. I sent him money to buy the property and got confirmed that the property has been registered. With trust, neither he sent the registration copies nor I doubted him. In 2011 when I went to India asked him to show the documents. Surprisingly I found that the purchased property is 2 acres combined land registered between his son and daughter i.e. my wife.
After realizing that it is undivided and unshare property, I asked him to divide and give my share. He refuses to do so and forcing me to take money. I inquired that the value of the property went up. My wife is ready gift deed her share to me.
I do not want to give up my rights on the land. Here are my questions.
1. Can I legally force him to divide the property?.
2. Can he obstruct my wife from transfering to me?
3. Can I sell the property to third party for higher price without his involvement?.
4. Also, can I expect the share of the profits from crops he harvests?.
With your expertise in legal system, please answer the above questions.
